So I came across a great deal on a Lexin headset for my helmet. My main reason for getting it was so I could listen to GPS directions. (I currently have to do it old school and try to memorize my route when I go somewhere new. At my advanced age, this doesn't always work out so well.)
Anyway, I also have some old bluetooth headphones with a broken receiver that I was going to use to replace the stock speakers on the Lexin for possibly listening to music.
My concern is that it might be too distracting during my commute, so I wanted to gather some of yalls' thoughts on listening while riding.
I've been riding daily for about 2-3 years now and have gotten pretty used to not having music in the background. I'm fairly comfortable on the bike now, and I'd consider myself to have a pretty good sense of my surroundings. Much more so than when I'm driving a car, at least. I do miss having music to listen to, but I don't want it to distract me from the road.
So, thoughts?
